Who dies in the west side story?

There are several people who die in West Side Story, these include Riff (the head of the Jets), Bernardo (the head of the Sharks) and Tony (Maris's lover and old member of Jet gang) It was originally set that Maria would also die just as Juliet did in "Romeo and Juliet", but the writers thought this would be too much death and left the ending open for the audience to decide what happens to Maria and the affect that these tragedies have had on their society.


Did Tucker Smith actually sing Cool in the movie West Side Story?

Yes, he did. In the original play, the songs was performed by Riff before his demise and it was directed at Action, who was the second-in-command of the Jets. In the film, the song was movied to after Riff's demise. This time, the character of Ice, played by Smith, performed it. Noted that the character of Ice was not in the original Broadway play, he assumed most of Action's role in the movie version. Tucker Smith also performed the Jet's Song. Russ Tamblyn recorded his own vocals but because of contractural reasons, Smith's version was used instead.


What happens when your a jet in west side story?

You rumble with The Sharks, all expertly choreographed mind you, whenever you're not hanging at the local Malte Shoppe listening to the 45's on the jukebox which inevitably will make the whole diner break out into "random" choreographed dancing. It was hard to be a tough back in New York in the old days apparently.
